The one Reason you would get off the trail for a few days? Just one Answer please!
Mom's home cooking as I pass by within miles from trail.
Funerals or if a family member got sick and thats about it.
Injury. both repetitive(abuse) or accidental injury.

Zombie Apocalypse, but only because i have been waiting for a long time for it to happen.

you only asked for one work, but 20 characters are required. I needed a bigger word.
Everyone's first question:
"Wow - How tall are you?"
Answer: "I'm 6'6""
Ergo, my trail name: 'Six-Six'
Trail Days.
Every few days to get food.

RAIN. 3 days of it.

Besides some of the others already given (but certainly not all):
Need a vacation from my vacation. Most of hiking is pure mental, taking a few days to vary your activity is a good thing. For example: On my first long hike, I spent a couple days caving, couple days canoeing, visited home at Christmas, White water rafting for a couple of days. Also went off-trail to explore some particularly interesting local celebrations/attractions such as Mesa Verde in Colorado, Ft. Larned during their Centennial Celebration in Kansas. Taking these "vacations" was very good mentally, and kept the hike more interesting.
You find yourself pregnant.

No. Absolutely not. If it's gonna downpour for a few days, I have no qualms about sitting it out. I carry very little raingear.

If I'm gonna leave the trail for a word, my word is "poontang"
A truly worthy diversion!
this is probably the only reason i would be off trail, i always laughed when people took time off for weddings,and it happens alot! don't ask me to be there or plan the wedding for off season(oct-feb) :-)
If this is supposed to apply to thru hikers, as it is posted in the Class of 2012, I see a lot of poor excuses for leaving the trail for a few days. It's easy to get off, it's not so easy to get back on.
